Savitree Kaur – Joyce Doppelt

When I first stepped onto the yoga mat in 1999, I found what I had been searching for my entire life: A wonderful peace.”

First, I found I couldn’t breathe correctly. So I learned how, which was the first turning point in changing my life. I practiced vinyasa, ashtanga and Forrest Method. I found that what I attained on the yoga mat I incorporated off the mat. This was point two in setting my course. My big influence was Paul Weitz, who fed me spiritual food for thought, giving me the yearning to travel further into what seemed at first like Alice in Wonderland. Yoga led me to other holistic practices: Macrobiotics and natural foods cooking for the next two years, followed by Ayurveda with Chef Patti Garland. I left my work as a recruiter and started a domestic services company, offering non-toxic housecleaning and whole foods cooking. This eventually led me to creating my own green cleaning products with the healing benefits of aromatherapy, offered as Blissful Home, with its mission “to change the way you experience cleaning so that it is uplifting, and to help you connect with your space, both inside and out.”

Starting in 2002, I experienced a series of traumas and losses, which ended my marriage and caused us to lose much of what we worked to accumulate. These years would test both my character as well as the effectiveness of the tools given me through yoga. My practice gave me clarity and insight, and I developed an almost unwavering Trust in the Universe! I had embarked on a blissful and healing life path, which was taken deeper when I met teacher Scott Adelman, who introduced me to Kundalini Yoga & Meditation. This technology gives me tools to conquer my inner world, and the strength to direct my Self outward.

I had found my calling… to contribute to the healing and betterment of the lives of others through the use of the basics: breath, sound and movement.

When I think of Savitree, I think of warmth, and kindness itself. When I first met her I had been doing Kundalini yoga for several years, but it was not until I experienced the power of her classes that I really began to understand the transformational effect that this type of yoga can have. She has a great knowledge of Kundalini yoga and uses this in combination with her gift of perception to make sure everyone’s needs are met. Her classes are energetic yet peaceful, often incorporating music in a very imaginative way. Seeking guidance from her I was always amazed at her capacity for being able to deliver exactly what you needed to hear, exactly when you needed to hear it, and in a totally non-judgmental manner. –J.T.
